Because I have never used Sintra before I was wondering if you can glue up pieces before forming or should it be done after forming?

Thanks

Re: Sintra?

what type of glue are you using? I'd recommend glueing after forming, but it all depends on the type of glue...

Re: Sintra?

Well I have 3 types of glue at my disposal:
Styrene cement
Super Glue
Barge cement

Any good for my application?

Re: Sintra?

i´m guessing that if you use a glue that melts the pieces together, like ABS cement does, it should be fine. Whilst other types of glue will "let go" when heated up.

Re: Sintra?

Super glue is the best adhesive for sintra.
The really runny kind, not the gel.

Re: Sintra?

The only thing i found that may be a problem is depending on how you are gonna heat up your sintra. if you boil in water should work. but i have found that if you are gonna try to use a heat gun it may warp around the glue. Chemical / heat reaction? just my 2 cents. But I did some glue work also. keep us updated on your build
